U.S. Rep. Ron Barber has made his decision: He’s running for re-election in 2014.

Days after telling the Arizona Capitol Times he hadn’t decided whether he would run in 2014 and saying he still had to discuss the issue with his family, Barber released a statement today pledging his full effort to keep his seat in Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District.

Arizona’s congressional delegation urged the National Park Service to issue the state a full refund for payments made to open Grand Canyon National Park while the government shut down during bitter budget fights in Washington, D.C. in October.

After a razor-thin loss last year to Democrat Ron Barber in southeastern Arizona's 2nd Congressional District, Republican Martha McSally is beginning the 2014 race with a significant amount of money in the bank.
